    Because the rollers ride up the ramps quicker as rpm increases, with resultant quicker pressure rise - the rollers do not need to make the entire transition from the valley to the ramp peak to generate pop pressure - residual pressure in the pipes mean the pressure does not have to build from 0...

    code 96- which cylinder is it 4 or 6?

    DTC96 is cylinder #6 - if that DTC96 persists, pull that injector, swap it with #1 - if still DTC96, something wrong with cylinder #6 - if now DTC91, gotta bad injector And gopher GmtdScan Tech - gives you better input for us to help you...............

    Correct - some may have another smaller fuse center inside the cab

    New injection pump in, am I good?

    KOKO won't work if ECT under 180*F or IAT under 80*F - or, pump position is within limits for original timing numbers - first scenario, warm it up and try again - second scenario, drive it and enjoy.......................

    DS4 is constant-beginning variable ending injection system - FS valve open allows fuel from the plungers to spill back into the housing accumulator - valve closure intiates pumping event, valve reopening ends injection event Marine hi-flow injectors were calibrated for a mechanical DB2 IP...

    They want 150min for the columns, here, and that's without the 'wheel - the airbag\horn button is also right at 150, and that doesn't include the 'wheel, either - 'at's right, kiddies: you can pay almost 450 for a complete column around here

    I agree with your opening statement - always takes more pressure to overcome valve-spring pressure than to keep the valve open - as far as the rest, and other than identical injection timing, that's a more plausible reason for the hi-pressure thick-walled injector pipes in an 1800psi system - I...

    Also remember that all pumps are designed with specific flowrate and pressure limits - fe, the oem lift pump is designed to pump 4.5psi at 15gph - that means it will pump 4.5psi at 1gph, or 10gph, or 15gph - it will pump 1psi at 17gph, and 0psi at 20gph - doesn't mean it's bad, just that spec'ed...

    Good questions, Buddy - what he said is basically true - but, he did not imply that if you set 1850psi at low-volume idle, you would get 2750psi at 5000rpm - with 2750psi injectors, you also get 2750 psi at idle - that higher pressure across the low to high rpm band will destroy the...

    Some of the aftermarket versions use thinner\smaller contacts, weaker springs, thinner plastic, etc - NAPA usually sells the oem\marquee item in the oem\vendor's carton, but best bet is MrGoodParts on that switch (or take yours and compare quality) - it is a mechanically-operated relay-type...

    No use getting a used switch - the problem is universal amongst the 6.5 vehicles - unless you're mechanically gifted you'll need to bite the bullet here and spring for a new unit - otherwise it requires disassembling both switches, removing the burned IGN contacts from the defective sw...

    oil leaking from dip stick

    Bubbles indicate excessive crankcase pressure, usually from worn rings\cylinders - lots of bubbles would indicate broken piston(s)\ring(s) CDR is just a low-vacuum regulator - the large size is due the large diaphragm required to activate under the way low levels of vacuum available in Diesel...

    oil leaking from dip stick

    More and more points to plugged crank vent system - engine hot and running, pull the tuna can from the turbo-side valvecover - should begin blowing oily vapors thru the hole in the 'cover - if not, call roto-rooter.................

    Q&A for DS4 timing thread

    Just so we're all on the same page, here, I didn't invent advanced DS4 timing and TDCO - that was being done with much success on the Diesel Page when I signed on back in ought zero - problem was, noone could explain it evenly remotely satisfactorily "Ok, let's advance the IP 5* for more...

    oil leaking from dip stick

    Could be the pre-screen inside the valvecover is plugged - un-vented crankcase will blow oil out the point(s) of least resistance Could also be something odd stuck in the dipstick tube at the pan, like from an earlier o'ring - must pre-lube the new o'ring for it to slip in and seal...
